@noob as far as shell scripting languages go, its not so bad, i like it

@noob its a funny lil shell that originated with the bsds, got kinda popular in its time but it got absolutely smacked by later shells that also tried to make scripting less awkward while remaining compatible with posix sh (or bourne shell, in other words), notably bash, zsh and ksh
openbsd and freebsd actually still include it, though usually alongside a posix compatible sh thats used by default
